So I was trying to write a oneshot, but my mind wouldn't allow me. It was like this: My mind said "You're gonna write another chapter" and I said "No." Then my mind said "Yes" and I said "No." Mind: yes. Me: no. Mind: yes. Me: no Mind: No Me: yes. So my mind pulled a Bugs Bunny on me. Sigh... So here it is, the second chapter in one day. Consider this a gift from me to you. Merry Christmas.
When the Titans arrived at the crime scene they...nothing. There was no villain, no citizens screaming, nothing. Cyborg looked at his built in computer. "There's no heat signature." He looked at his fellow titans. "Robin, there's no one here." Robin narrowed his eyes. He growled. He turned to face the Titans. They all recognized the look on his face. He was in full out "leader mode."
"Split up, and search everywhere!" He ordered. However, before they could go anywhere, Beast Boy's communicator rang. He stared at it blankly for a few seconds, before flipping it open.
"Beast Boy here." He said into the communicator. The screen was static for a second, before it became normal, revealing a familiar face.
"Hello, my boy," Professor Chang cackled. "How are you today?" Before Beast Boy could react, Robin yanked the communicator out of his hands. He scowled at the face on the screen.
"Chang," he growled. "What are you up to?" Instead of answering, Professor Chang just laughed.
"You really are stupid, aren't you, boy?" Chang chuckled. "Think about it, you reached a fool destination, and you left all the Honorary Titans on their own." Robin's eyes widened.
"No," he whispered. Professor Chang laughed once more, before the screen went blank. All the Titans stood sill in a stunned silence. Beast Boy was the first to react. He turned to the others, his eyes wide with worry.
"We have to get back!" He cried out. "They need our help!" He began to run off, when Cyborg pulled him back.
"Don't be stupid, BB," he said sternly. "We don't know what he could have put in there. We could be walking into a death trap." Beast Boy stopped struggling, and sighed in defeat.
"Cyborg's right, Beast Boy," Robin said. "We need to think of a game plan." Raven stood sill, thinking. Then she looked up, facing the team.
"What if I teleport myself inside." Everyone looked at her as she continued. "Then I could find out what we're up against." Robin nodded, smiling.
"Good idea, Raven," he praised. "Just hurry." Raven nodded, and closed her eyes. Then she was gone. Robin turned to the rest of the group.
Alright, team," he told them. "Lets try to get back." They nodded. Beast Boy changed into a falcon as the others flew/drove towards Titans Tower. As he followed behind Starfire, his mind drifted off to Kole. He remembered what he said about her. Beast Boy mentally slapped himself. Hopefully she would be alright.
'Hold on, Kole,' he thought. 'We're coming.'
...
Raven found herself inside the common room. She looked around, when she heard someone call her name. Turning around, she saw all the Honorary Titans lying on the ground, unconscious. She heard her name again, and observed the fallen She then saw Lightning staring at her. She stepped around the unconscious bodies, before kneeling next to Lightning.
"The old one immobilized us," he whispered. "You must get out of here, he's using us to lure you in." Raven shook her head.
"Not happening." She took out her communicator, and spoke into it. "Robin, Professor Chang has the Honorary Titans immobilized, but Lightning is still conscious."
"Alright, Raven," Robin replied. "Stay there, we'll be there soon." Raven nodded, shutting off her communicator.. Lightning's eyes widened.
"What are you doing?" He hissed. "You must leave at once!" Raven stood up, and she began to check the other titans. But then suddenly, she was shot in the back by a laser. With a grunt, Raven collapsed onto the ground, unconscious. Professor Chang lowered his gun, grinning evilly. Chuckling, he stalked towards Lightning, who stared up, helpless. Chang pointed the gun at the elemental's face. Lightning closed his eyes tightly, not wanting to see his end. Chang was about to pull the trigger, when he heard an all to familiar phrase.
"Titans, go!"
...
Minutes before, the Titans were nearing Titans Tower. Beast Boy began to fly faster, Starfire right behind him. Beast Boy began to worry. Were they alright? Was Raven alright? Was Kole alright? Beast Boy forced himself to calm down. Kole was a tough girl, and so was Raven. They could take care of themselves. Beast Boy heard the order to stop. He landed next to the T-car, changing back to human. Robin began to run towards the tower, the others following him. They reached the entrance, and Robin kicked the door open. Running through the halls, they reached the doors leading to the common room. The doors opened, and they saw Professor Chang about to put a laser in Lightning's head.
"Titans, go!"
The Titans lunged at Chang. Chang fired his gun at them. He missed, and got smacked in the face by Robin's staff. Starfire then flew up to him, punching the professor in the face. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon, blasting Chang away. Chang landed with a big oof. He began to scramble up, only for Beast Boy to step on him, pinning him down. The Titans all stared down at the defeated Chang. He gulped.
"Um...can I get my one phone call?"
...
Later that night, in order to get the incident out of everyone's minds, Robin decided to hold a BBQ on the roof. Beast Boy had just finished grilling his tofu dogs, when he noticed Kole walking towards the door leading inside. He sighed, and took off his chef hat. 'I should probably go apologize.' He thought. He made his way towards the door, when he was stopped by Jericho and Herald. Beast Boy sighed.
"Look guys, I'm gonna go apologize to her, alright?" He said.
"Just remember this, Beast Boy," Herald growled. "You're a cool guy, but Kole is like a little sister to us." Jericho looked a little uncertain at that part. "And if you do anything that hurts her in any way, we will beat your ass until you shit sideways. Got that?" Beast Boy nodded, kind of afraid. Jericho and Herald looked at one another, before letting Beast Boy pass.
Beast Boy entered the common room, and saw Kole sitting on the sofa. She was twiddling with her thumbs, and she looked sad. Beast Boy sighed, and approached her. The sound of footsteps caused Kole to look up. She narrowed her eyes at Beast Boy, and looked away, crossing her arms. Beast Boy sat next to her, and remained silent, pondering his words carefully. He finally turned to Kole.
"I'm sorry," he began. Wow, that was original. "I didn't mean it when I said that we were just partners. You're my friend, a really good friend." Kole still didn't turn around. Beast Boy continued. "It was just the heat of the moment. I didn't mean any of that." Kole had now started to turn around. "Let me tell you something, Kole," Beast Boy said, now gaining confidence. "Before we teamed up, I didn't actually think I could win. I kept telling myself I could, but I never believed it. But then when we teamed up, I suddenly began to think that I could do it!" He smiled. "And there is no one else I'd rather do it with than you."
Kole sniffed. She wiped her eyes with her sleeve. "Do you really mean it?" She asked. Beast Boy nodded. Kole smiled, and hugged him. Beast Boy froze, but then smiled and hugged her back. The two stayed like that for a minute, before pulling apart. Kole smirked.
"So, are we back in business, partner?" She joked.
Beast Boy grinned. "Yup," he said, shaking her hand. "We're back."
However, they were not aware of the person watching them. Jericho narrowed his eyes, feeling jealousy stir up in his gut. He sighed. Turning around, he began to walk away. But instead he bumped into someone. He looked up, and saw that it was Robin. He had a grim expression on his face. He pointed at Beast Boy and Kole.
"Take a good long look, Jericho," he hissed. Jericho looked at two. He felt Robin's hand on his shoulder. "They will be your opponents in the tournament." Robin leaned in close, and whispered in his ear, "And if you don't beat them, you and Herald will be kicked out of the Titans forever." Jericho's eyes widened. He turned around, but Robin was gone. His words echoed within the mute's mind. Jericho sighed, and ran his fingers through his curly hair.
'What have I gotten myself into?' He thought.
Oh my God, the horror! How could you, Robin?! What will Jericho do?
Don't forget to review! Sorry it's not as good as my other chapters.
